The Vinkeveense Plassen are situated near the town of Vinkeveen,
some 10 kilometers south of Amsterdam. The Vinkeveense Plassen are
split in three by two roads that run straight through.
The Vinkeveense Plassen came into being due to the cutting of
peaty soil. A part of it is impoldered again but there is still
900 hectare left. 
To protect the shores there are strict rules for motorboat
sailing. Maximum speed during daytime is 9 km/h, at evenings
6 km/h.
